Currently our country uses the voting system ‘First Past the Post’. This system has received a lot of criticism for not being very proportional with the distribution of seats in relation to votes. Other systems like AMS, STV and List systems are a lot more proportional. In this essay I will assess the benefits of these systems.

One main benefit to these proportional systems is that it ensures seats are proportional to votes. In the 2010 election the Conservative party gained around 50% of the seats while only getting 30% of the votes which caused lot disapproval to our system as it was seen as improper. Systems like AMS ensure this problem doesn’t occur as it uses additional top up seats to balance the proportion of seats to votes. However as top up seats vary one could argue that this system is open to corruption.

Another benefit is that they allow better representation. AMS ensures better representation by distributing the top up seats so each party is correctly represented. However there is a limit to how well they can ensure better representation because there isn’t an unlimited number of top up seats. STV also allows better representation by allowing more winners within a constituency. Nevertheless in order to better the representation within parties and constituencies these systems must have long complicated processes which may put people off voting and therefore cancelling the effect of better representation.

Another common benefit is that theses systems ensures most votes aren’t wasted. AMS consider every electorate’s vote as a percentage to determine where to distribute the top up seats. STV takes electorate’s 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 4th votes to ensure there vote doesn’t to waste. Conversely with AMS parties with a very small percentage of votes would most likely gain no seats which imply votes could be wasted. Moreover STV’s system is too complicated that by allowing no votes to be...

...What Philosophical problem was the primary concern of the Pre-Socratics?
The pre-Socratics were primarily focused on exploring the main cause of the creation of the world and the basic substance of everything around us. They questioned the one and the many. Instead of acknowledging many of the more traditional mythological explanations of the time for the natural phenomena they saw in the world such as solar eclipses, they searched for rational and logical explanations. Their primary concern was the search of the most basic substance that everything around them was made of. Thales was the first of these philosophers to try to answer this fundamental problem. He saw that water could be turned into air when it is heated and into ice when frozen so he hypothesized that the most basic substance from which everything arose from was water. He seemed to view the earth as solidifying from the water on which it floated and surrounded the ocean. Anaximander, which was a student of Thales, claimed that the substance wasn't water or any of the other elements. It was actually something that was infinite and indefinite, calling it "Apeiron". Apeiron was a substance that lacked qualities but was unlimited. It differentiated primary opposites such as the cold and fire, and the wet and dry. It is basically a higher, living force that guides the natural process, allowing it to create everything around us. His student, Anaximinies also believed that the substance was infinite however;...

...So the essay goes something like this:
Im 2010 Whitey Basson the CEO of shoprite earned 620 000 000,my personal opinion
Good for him-he worked hard to earn this.
So now the essay is saying say you were in the possession of this money
Step 1
All 7billion people will take 620 000 000 when they have done a years work in order to really get rich.
1.Is this maxim conceivable? In a world ruled by the unisversal law
2. Would you act on your maxim in such a world?
What do you think about whitey or yourself earning this amount of money?
Why do you think this?

Introduction
According to encyclopedia air pollution is the introduction of particles, biological molecules or other harmful material into the earth atmosphere. Possible causing diseases, death to human, damage to other living organisms.
The Vaal Triangle is a highly industrialized area housing numerous industries, a coal fired power station, with various smaller industrial and commercial activities in addition to a few mines and giving rise to noxious and offensive gasses. The Vaal Triangle is also home to a number of large informal settlements mainly using coal and wood as fuel source. This in impacts directly on the health and wellbeing of the people residing there.
Air pollution is very dangerous and hence people know about it but they do not know the effect and according to the 2014 World Health Organization report, air pollution in 2012 caused the deaths of around 7 million people worldwide. India has the highest death rate due to air pollution. India also has more deaths from asthma than any other nation according to the World Health Organization. In December 2013 air pollution was estimated to kill 500,000 people in China...

...﻿1.5. Generations of Computer
The computer has evolved from a large-sized simple calculating machine to a smaller but much more powerful machine. The evolution of computer to the current state is defined in terms of the generations of computer. Each generation of computer is designed based on a new technological development, resulting in better, cheaper and smaller computers that are more powerful, faster and efficient than their predecessors. Currently, there are five generations of computer. In the following subsections, we will discuss the generations of computer in terms of—
i. the technology used by them (hardware and software),
ii. computing characteristics (speed, i.e., number of instructions executed per second),
iii. physical appearance, and
iv. their applications.
1.5.1. First Generation (1940 to 1956): Using Vacuum Tubes
Hardware Technology: The first generation of computers used vacuum tubes (Figure 1.4) for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory. The input to the computer was through punched cards and paper tapes. The output was displayed as printouts.
Software Technology: The instructions were written in machine language. Machine language uses 0s and 1s for coding of the instructions. The first generation computers could solve one problem at a time.
Computing Characteristics: The computation time was in milliseconds.
Physical Appearance: These computers were enormous in size and required a large room for installation.
Application: They were...
